Programming for Data Analytics

The course is designed to be accessible to major students with little or no programming experience and emphasizes writing programmes that can retrieve and manipulate a large amounts of data. The first half of the course focuses on intensive learning of Python programming language (base syntax, programme structures, and data types), while the second half of the course covers selected topics of data processing - work with multidimensional arrays (numpy), data frames (pandas), visualisation (metplotlib), and modelling (statsmodels, scikit-learn).
